The addition of Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender XDR Portfolio offers clients alternatives to expand security monitoring, increase visibility, and streamline threat detection and response

Cheseaux-sur-Lausanne, Switzerland, and Phoenix (AZ), USA – October 18, 2022 – Kudelski Security, the cybersecurity division within the Kudelski Group (SIX:KUD.S), today announced the integration of their leading Managed Detection and Response Services (MDR) with Microsoft Sentinel and additional products from the Microsoft 365 Defender XDR portfolio. The move aligns Kudelski Security’s offerings with market trends, as more companies choose to leverage Microsoft E5 licenses and Microsoft Sentinel to expand security capabilities instead of additional investments in third-party tool vendors.

By directly integrating its MDR solution with the cloud-native SIEM and Microsoft Defender XDR suite, Kudelski Security accomplishes its goals. It aligns its services seamlessly with an increasing number of clients, enables Kudelski Security analysts to act faster with more information, and speeds the remediation of threats within customers’ environments. It also adds another important technology ecosystem to the company’s core of integrated security technologies, an effort that will continue to evolve based on market and client requirements.

“Microsoft is making huge investments in security and structuring licensing agreements to encourage clients to adopt their security platform,” said Andrew Howard, chief executive officer at Kudelski Security. “By integrating Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender XDR into Kudelski Security’s Cyber Fusion Center and MDR offerings, we give mutual clients a more streamlined solution – one that enhances their security posture and maximizes investments they have already made.”

The company’s latest collaboration with Microsoft helps bridge that visibility gap and enables organizations to secure identities, achieve compliance, collaborate safely, and detect threats across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. The additional integration of Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender will enable Kudelski Security to provide more timely and detailed notifications of verified security threats, remediation recommendations, responses for escalated security incidents as well as continuous and proactive threat hunting.

“In addition to our integrations with Microsoft, we continue to invest in our Advisory capacity – adding experts with deep Microsoft experience to work directly with clients to optimize their environments and maximize security,” continued Howard. “These teams ensure that – even if the client isn’t leveraging our MDR services – they can adequately defend their systems and data.”

Kudelski Security’s market-leading security services and proven support for the Microsoft security ecosystem make it uniquely positioned to help organizations adopt cloud-based security models. In addition to 24/7 MDR services powered by its Cyber Fusion Centers across the globe, Kudelski Security helps clients protect data and secure identities, endpoints, apps, and infrastructure across their Microsoft environments. Its latest partnership builds on previously announced integrations with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Azure services, Microsoft 365 Defender, and Azure Defender, as well as a Microsoft-focused consultancy designed to help clients effectively secure end-users and multi-cloud infrastructures.

Kudelski Security continues to earn industry recognition for its MDR approach and services that deliver faster, improved security outcomes. The company has been recognized for five consecutive years in the Gartner Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response Services (2017-2021), and three consecutive years in Gartner Market Guide for Digital Forensics and Incident Response Services. Most recently, Kudelski Security was awarded ‘Champion’ status in Bloor’s 2021 MDR Market Update and recognized as a ‘Strong Performer’ in the Forrester Wave “Managed Detection And Response, Q1 2021” report.

All-in-one solution provides flexible, scalable Managed Detection & Response capabilities to address the growing sophistication of threats across hybrid enterprise environments

Cheseaux-sur-Lausanne, Switzerland and Phoenix (AZ), USA, April 26, 2022 – Kudelski Security, the cybersecurity division within the Kudelski Group (SIX:KUD.S), today announced the launch of its MDR ONE solution, a new all-in-one solution that provides cloud-native managed detection and response (MDR) solutions built on Kudelski Security’s proprietary XDR architecture.

The enterprise shift to the cloud is accelerating, with Gartner predicting that more than half of IT spending will shift from traditional solutions to the cloud by 2025. Kudelski Security’s new MDR ONE supports this trend by enabling organizations with limited or less experienced security teams, or those with smaller budgets, to access advanced, cloud-based MDR capabilities to efficiently scale security as their needs grow or change over time.

“Now more than ever, businesses of all sizes need to ensure they maintain the highest level of security for their systems and data,” said Andrew Howard, CEO, Kudelski Security. “Kudelski Security’s new MDR ONE enables us to provide efficient, effective threat hunting, detection, and response capabilities in an all-in-one offering that is easy for clients to employ and manage over time.”

An alternative model for accessing high-touch MDR services, Kudelski Security’s MDR ONE solution is designed for clients who also seek to reduce the complexity of handling multiple-point threat detection solutions and accelerate time to value. MDR ONE is powered by FusionDetect™, the foundation of Kudelski Security’s innovative XDR architecture, which streamlines security processes and technology across all Kudelski Security’s portfolio of MDR offerings to increase the measurable value clients realize.

MDR ONE also leverages Kudelski Security’s proprietary Use Case Manager– mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework – which covers current and latest threat scenarios, supported by precise detection rules, each customized to the client’s unique environment and threat model. This makes MDR ONE a one-stop-shop that covers over 90 percent of the latest attack techniques across IT, cloud, and endpoint environments to drastically reduce time to detect and respond with agility to current and emerging threats.

Olivier Spielmann, Kudelski Security VP Global Managed Detection & Response services, added, “We believe that scalable and focused threat detection and response is crucial to address the challenges of the modern threat landscape. With this turn-key solution, we are making advanced and agile threat detection, investigation, and response more accessible and seamless than ever before.”

Kudelski Security continues to earn industry recognition for its MDR approach and services that deliver faster, improved security outcomes, including Bloor Research, Forrester, Frost & Sullivan, Gartner, and IDC. The company has been recognized for five consecutive years in the Gartner Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response Services (2017-2021), three consecutive years in Gartner Market Guide for Digital Forensics and Incident Response Services. Most recently, Kudelski Security was awarded ‘Champion’ status in Bloor’s 2021 MDR Market Update and recognized as a ‘Strong Performer’ in the Forrester Wave “Managed Detection And Response, Q1 2021” report.

Kudelski Security’s latest collaboration with Microsoft enables Kudelski Security to natively ingest endpoint data from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint-protected devices to actively monitor environments, proactively hunt for new threats and more rapidly initiate remediation actions should a breach occur. This new capacity to integrate with Microsoft endpoint security products follows the recent launch of Kudelski Security’s FusionDetect™, a cloud native platform that supports MDR services across IT, OT, and cloud environments.

Kudelski Security’s expanded support for Microsoft products builds on previously announced integrations with Microsoft Azure services, Microsoft 365 Defender, and Azure Defender, as well as a Microsoft-focused consultancy designed to help Microsoft clients optimize security in a cloud environment.

“In 2020 alone, the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint solution blocked nearly six billion malware threats on endpoints it protected,” said Alton Kizziah, VP of strategy at Kudelski Security. “This increasing volume, combined with the continued public success of ransomware attacks, emphasizes the fact that organizations need complete threat visibility to rapidly detect, block, and respond to cyber attacks.

“Our integration of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint expands our MDR efficiency and offers Microsoft security clients a proven service that improves their security posture while maximizing the effectiveness of their investments in Microsoft security technologies,” Kizziah continued.

With market-leading security services and proven support for the Microsoft security ecosystem, Kudelski Security is uniquely positioned to help modern enterprises embrace new security models born in the cloud. In addition to its 24/7 Managed Detection and Response services, Kudelski Security helps clients apply zero trust models and provides data protection capabilities for their Microsoft environments to secure identities, data, endpoints, apps, and infrastructure.

“In today’s environment of increasingly sophisticated threats, our mutual clients rely on companies like Kudelski Security and their proactive solutions that include Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, to help protect their enterprise systems and environments,” said Zach Howes, Group Project Manager at Microsoft.

Kudelski Security continues to earn industry recognition for excellence in managed security that delivers faster, improved security outcomes. In addition to being ranked a Strong Performer in ‘The Forrester Wave for Managed Detection and Response, Q1 2021’, Kudelski Security was also recognized as a leader in ‘The Forrester Wave Mid-Size Managed Security Service Providers, Q3 2020, awarded ‘Champion’ status by Bloor Research in their 2021 MDR Market Update, recognized as a notable service provider in the latest Frost & Sullivan’s European Managed & Professional Security Services Market (June 2021), recognized several consecutive years in the Gartner Market Guide for MDR services, and in the Market Guide for Digital Forensics and Incident Response Services.
